    ..Are those for a Diversion similar
    I am looking for a new set of coils because cannot figure the warm-starting problem out.

    (Valve play and carburation is okay)

    On ebay there are sets offered for a price of 1 original.. From China?
    I am a little hesistant to try them.

    Does anyone have a tip for a set of NEW coils that can be fittet on mij 1988 XJ900F?

    Use the CB 750 SOHC coils those are what the other owners used although DOHC coils should be fine if same part number. @Dave in Ireland used the Gold Wing coils early ones l believe?

    I have no idea in what range of production years that is but..

    Do you alle use second-hand (so already old, maybe vulnerable?) coils or can they be purchased new at a reasonable price?

    It's free advice, do with it what you will.
    FWIW, I don't recall anybody having trouble with a used MP-08 coil, taken from a Honda made in the past 30 years.
